The manufacture of furniture,
the spinning of flax, and what
ever other industries can be used,
are recommended strongly by the
warden) He attacks vehemently
the doctrine of -unionized labor,
that it is industrially i or Socially
wrong to teach these men indus
try in the prison, to bar their
products, from the open market,
and to keep them there as po
tential menaces to society that
has been working to keep them
there at high costs and then train
them to go out and make stl'l
greater costs. He says that the
principle ' of barring them from
themarket is an economical false
hood and folly.
"These men .are human, and
subject to the same1 passions that
govern you," he said. "Some are
lazy, some are ambitious, as you
are; some of .them were skating
on thin ice, and skated just a
little closer than you did when
it broke under them. There are
bankers in prison for ! doing the
same things that other bankers
did who are not there; there are
adulterers who got caught; there
are men In for overdrawing their
bank accounts but so have I
done that, a hundred times," and
so has Governor Pierce, and so
have you. . 'I'm not a sentimen
talist, but a hard-beaded practical
man, and it seems to me that we
must forget most of their past
and remember these men as what
they will be in the future, ac
cording to what we do with them
now. We must make them self
sustaining for the good of them
selves, ourselves, of society as a

him a base money grabber; some
a weak, fawning groveler," de
misable as a graden slug. But
there is another interpretation-
that of a great, dominating, suf
fering character, beside whom
air the others of the play are
mere puppets; a man represent
ing a cause, .a hope, a racial life
that is everlasting. If Leiber
does not present such a Shylock,
there's nothing, in signs; .he will
